1) Unlock all doors from driver's door while it is open. The driver's door is the only door to remain open during this process! 2) Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the eighth turn ending in RUN. All the doors will lock and unlock if program is successful. 3) Turn key OFF and remove key from ignition. Within 20 seconds, press any button on the remote. (Press sliding door or rear hatch and it will open!) 4) If door locks do not respond, wait several seconds and press button again. If doors still fail to respond, try repeating steps (1-3).

hello wwhampton,

open the hood, take a close look at your headlights, if it is a headlight assembly, there are two screws with big plastic heads on the back of the assembly, these are the adjusting screws. one for horizontal adjustment and the other one is for vertical adjustment.

if the headlight is a round or square ordinary bulb, the adjusting screws are located near the bulb itself, these are philips screws. one on the top and one on the side.

a suggestion; when adjusting headlights, face the car to a wall about 5 ft away and adjust the headlight.

tnx 4 using fixya.

fuel spills out when I fill up.

Everytime I get gas it starts to fill the tank and then after a while the gas spills out. I have to listen to it when I'm filling up tank. It acts like it does when the pump is about to shut off because tank is full. Could my fuel system have a problem? I have gone to 4 different gas stations thinking it was their pumps.

getting p0193 code for my

getting p0193 code for my 2005 ford freestar se

Posted by on

Answer

  • Most Helpful of 2 Answers

P0193 is "Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input"
Meaning: Car's computer is reading input voltage from the FRP (Fuel Rail Pressure) sensor as
voltage out of the acceptable range, because the voltage is too above the acceptable range.

assuming you are running gasoline...

check for fuel in the vacuum hose of the FRP sensor after running engine at idle for 2 minutes. if not, check fuel pressure. Check fuel pressure by connecting a fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader
connector on the fuel rail, which you will find under a small (black, usually) plastic protective cap.

If the fuel pressure is indeed too high, your fuel pressure regulator has gone bad.

if fuel pressure is good, check voltage between Sensor connector Vref (Pin#3 LB (light blue)) and
Signal Return (Pin#4 GY/RD (gray/red)), which should be 4.0V-5.5V with key ON.
The acceptable voltage range from the FRP sensor to the car's computer is 4.0-5.5 volts.
What the P0193 code is saying is that the voltage from the FRP sensor is over 5.5 volts,
and therefore it's "High Input."

If voltage from the FRP sensor is bad (out of range high, presumably), then replace the FRP
sensor and reset the OBD-II code.

If the voltage output from the FRP sensor is also good, the car's computer is kaflooey, so
you'd need to replace the car computer (which is costly), so replace the car's computer as a
last resort.

2005 ford freestar back hatch door wont open

The back hatch door won't open. I have the panel off and it looks like the mechanisms are working but the latch will not release. I think it is the actuator but I'm not sure. How do I manually open it? I cannot get in there to pop the latch open nor can I see the latch.

A flashing engine light usually indicates a misfire or several misfires. If the ignition components (coils, wires, distributors...) some how become exposed to moisture it is possible to get a rough running engine due to misfire(s) cause by arcking.

ford freestar back hatch lock won't unlock

I have a 2004 Freestar van. Naturally we use the unlock button on the driver's or passenger's door to unlock the rear hatch, which has no mechanical lock override of its own. The unlock button stopped tripping the back door lock, slowly at first and now it never works. Helpless to open the back hatch. But all four other locks respond fine (from either door front). I have removed the inner hatch door panels and have a good view of the entire locking assembly. But, does anyone know what the most likely failed part is?
